Service-Learning Faculty Associates Program

Service-learning is a teaching pedagogy that brings NC State’s mission to the classroom. As a form of ‘Engaged Learning’, service-learning is shown to strengthen student academic learning, increase multiple dimensions of personal development, strengthen career preparation, and deepen civic engagement.

Faculty at NC State who use service-learning report great satisfaction in the energy and enlightenment that comes to the teaching-learning experience of their classes.

The Office of Outreach & Engagement is investing in expanding the number of service-learning faculty and courses at NC State and invite applications for the new Service-Learning Faculty Associates Program.

Share a day of training during a service-learning institute on August 13, 2019;
